PA warns lack of peace deal leading to apartheid state

The Palestinian Authority warned on Saturday that long-standing lack of movement toward peace with Israel was threatening the concept of a two-state solution and could lead to Palestinians being left in an Israeli-run "apartheid" state.

"Without a tangible shift from a conflict management approach towards a just and lasting political agreement... Israelis and Palestinians will inevitably slide into one state governed by the principles of apartheid," the PA said in a report prepared for a meeting of international donors in New York on Monday, according to AFP.
